About Springettsbury

Township

Springettsbury Township, located between York City and Wrightsville, is a suburban and park-rich Pleasureville neighborhood with a broad retail corridor and a strong recreation backbone. The township’s energy concentrates around the East Market Street and N. Hills Road area, where big-box storefronts, local eateries, and everyday services line wide, car-oriented blocks. Postwar split-levels and ranch homes mix with newer subdivisions, while mature trees and creek corridors soften the edges. Springettsbury Township Park sets the tone with sports fields, trails, and event lawns that shape the local calendar. The York County Agricultural Society Fairgrounds adds a seasonal pulse with shows and festivals. Round-the-clock skating at Inline 309 and craft pours at Collusion Tap Works give the area a distinct after-hours rhythm.
